I fish Henderson after dark all the time. If I'd've seen that first, you sure wouldn't be seeing it now.

lionkiller

Bob's a good guy. Helped me a lot when I 1st moved up here...

lionkiller

I see that mount in the baitshop every day!

You'd think that if someone had real proof of a bigger fish, they'd show it and take their due.

Otherwise, it's just bartalk....

lionkiller

a hundred eighty-some boats, 154 or so weighed fish.

There's a results sheet on the counter at Tackle It.

lionkiller

Haven't seen any new dead or dying carp in a week. There are still some stinky spots around, though... With as many hidey holes as there are here, I don't expect we lost 80% of our carp....though I wouldn't cry if we did. Oh yeah, Cornfish, copper. & it's "not harmful to fish..." (Exce...

lionkiller

I park all night at 5th st. in Lakeport all the time. No trouble in the past 3 years....

lionkiller

Wow, interesting article. 80% mortality? I have seen a lot of dead carp here, but... Still kinda stinky here in spots, even with the cooler weather.

Jay, thanks for your follow-up.

lionkiller

Times are tight. Anglers & tournament organizations are trying to do the same with less....so sparks will fly. I've been to a lot of weigh-ins, & there's sour grapes at almost every one...even charity events. This leads me to believe that part of the problem belongs to anglers. If you 'lose'...

lionkiller

We've already experienced this up here. Lots of guys couldn't afford to run their boats, no less drive up here. There will be a lot more casting practice in the kiddie pool this year. I was told there was a tournament up here Sun. (2009 opener?...) with 35 boats.....They were expecting about 90. Ane...

lionkiller

YEH, B...come up 'n troll fer some 'kokes!

OH, I forgot.....none a doze in this lake. Ohwell, muskie it is, then.

Nice lookin baits, BTW.

PS. the boat's gassed & ready.

lionkiller

KB has it right: a nice rocky ledge, 3 ft. drop in places...

Good place to 'slow roll', too.

lionkiller

Cornfish has electric pants. Fleece & gore-tex for us mortals.

Bite should pick up with this past wind/dip in water temps. I'd like to know what the thermo says this a.m.

lionkiller

I was watching one of the pros on TV talking about fishing slow and he mentioned he was making over 100 casts per hour..now in my way of looking at things, that just isn't fishing very slowly..So when you say slow and even slower, how many casts an hour are you making.. mac about four & a half....

lionkiller

Jumbo (not banjo) minnows. Shaky heads, DS, jigs.

How slow can you go? Half that.

It's usually a 'slow' month.

lionkiller

Being on Ed's pro staff I hear stories like this over and over again. Ed will hands down go out of his way to help. With Ed its not just about making a buck, he truly cares about the fisherman Being his 'neighbor', I know this! The problem is now I have such high expectations wherever I go. Makes i...

lionkiller

Service & information. You can't get those off the rack in K-mart'.

lionkiller

can't be lack of 02, as carp can 'breathe' air....& survive in very low DO levels. Virus or bacteria, most likeky. Bass will eat carp minnows -when they're deep enough in the grass to find 'em. So will heron, osprey. It sure doesn't impact the population, tho... As was said earlier in the thread...

lionkiller

Slow this past week or so...didn't care to fish AC in the wind. Below average for me, for sure. Funny, too, 'cause last week & week before weren't too shabby....when my spots weren't blown out.

lionkiller

First they give us MTBE, a cracking byproduct that ate fuel hoses. Now this!?! Fishing 2-3x a week, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for me, but...

I hope those corn subsidies were worth it....

lionkiller

Now's the time for this topic to 'resurface', as bass move deeper into their summer haunts. Working a couple years on a release boat, I've learned a few things... You can also stick the fish through the roof of the mouth, between the chompers. we use a hollow hypodermic-type needle. Try not to let a...

lionkiller

One of my team guys just started production on a bait called the Snack Size Trout. www.wiredangler.com Just saw those in Tackle It here....very nice look & feel to the bait, If I'd've had $80 on me, I'd probably have bought one. I got the BBZ-1 floater, though. Slammer & BBZ both work just ...

lionkiller

Heard about a striper bite up there........so bring the Super Spooks.

You can pull your boat right up on the beach & camp there...my buddy has. Sorry, I don't know which campground it is...

lionkiller

Went through two of 'em when I upgraded last year.

My problem wasn't solved till I ponied up for a MinnKota & shipped the 2nd bad one back (on me...). The motrdguide is a BPS!

Been very happy with the Minnkota, tho....

lionkiller

visibility is bad, especially at night. GPS & slow, or no-go.

Hasn't hurt the topwater bite.

lionkiller

The new Stren Microfuse...also appears to only go up to 30#. Glows nice, & is the same 'fused' Dyneema as Fireline.

I use the 30# Fireline/Microfuse in some very rocky areas of CL with good success. More often than not, it's the fluoro leader that ends up frayed.

lionkiller

looks like they do it at KVC, too. Maybe you can get your sticker right there....Sat. pm...

lionkiller

Lots of those 'drive-by's on this (Clear) Lake. Some even by 'tournament guys'.

lionkiller · Re: Angler's Choice Clear Lake Nights 6-14-08 See ya there, buddy!

See ya there, buddy!

lionkiller

Rogue 806 GH has enough nutz.....nearly spooled my reel, tho.

lionkiller

Laid down some today....I see a rustle in the trees out the window now, but it sure ain't howlin like the past few days.

lionkiller

We got it here on CL....cold out there last night, too...

lionkiller

After losing a large fish fishing deep cranks (I felt it tear loose...), I went & asked the dude at the baitshop what I did wrong. too stiff rod & too tight drag. Fish had the leverage to rip itself loose. I went down a power in rods, set my drag looser. My average went up....& way up wh...

lionkiller

You can use any worm on it. Save yourself some money and get a bag of split shot and pinch it on whatever hook you want. Or just wackey rig with a dart head, its all the same regardless of what a salesmen tells ya. After ya crimp the shot on, put on a dab of epoxy,let dry, give it a squirt of black...

lionkiller

Informative, & timely as well!

Thanks.

lionkiller

I warranteed my MG, & the new one broke 2 weeks later.

Exchanged for MinnKota, which works just fine.

I'm sure the top-of-the-line MG is good enough, but in my ($5-800) range the MK was a better motor than the comparable MG.

$.02

lionkiller

Nobody looked in my bilge, either (I'm a local)...You signed the affidavit declaring that your boat was clean & hasn't been in any 'danger zone' lakes. What reason to look? There are no Quagga Cops. The guy at the baitshop doesn't get a raise or a helper to cope with the new County Regs., the fl...

lionkiller

Yap?...That shaky head was in its gut...had to flip the hook around to remove it.

Them polarized glasses is good fer spottin stuff like that.

Now you know why I use a 'nickname'.

I remember several years where the largest wave of bass moved up to spawn in May. And I've seen some Junes that have had a surprising number of spawners. No worries. They are waiting for the stability in water temps and sea level pressure before they make their move en masse. If we get a full moon ...

lionkiller

Go git 'em, Guys!!!!!!

lionkiller

I think berryessa holds more big fish than anyone really knows....i think once they start putting resorts on the lake there will be some tournaments and people will take notice I think BLM has a tournament fee on Berry now....will be a tournament deterrent for a lot of clubs who don't have the bone...

lionkiller

That's not me, it's still cold up here, & wacky doesn't work!

& I'M going again in about 45 minutes!

lionkiller

& I hear he treats his friends even better!

lionkiller

About the only thing they don't want to sticker is hip waders... The 'inspection' is a decision-tree which usually leads to a sticker without having to go through the boat. Those coming from designated risk areas should arrive 'clean & dry'. You'll get your sticker, no prob....IF they have 'em. ...

lionkiller

More of a finesse bite here lately, with the cold. Try a dropshot or shaky head. It's hard to fish a senko wrong around here, too...

Should warm up pretty good this weekend. If the water's clear, chuck a ripbait, of not, try a blade.

Always jigs. Swimbaits if ya hafta.

lionkiller

I'm with Stock on that skippin thing....much easier on a spinner.

I use a Loomis 843 IMX, Okuma V-30 spooled with 20 lb braid, 15# fluoro leader. 4/0 ewg, 5" senko. Works well in post-spawn/summertime.

lionkiller

Had a few swimbaiting down there week before last. Water had a little color to it, so choose your baits accordingly. try a senko or brush hog as a fallback.

lionkiller

lionkiller, I can read very well also. Mr Holder and his family set up all of the tables, put out all of the salsa, broke down all of the tables etc and put it all away, helped serve the food to everyone and so on. Martin Diaz spent most of 3 days cooking, preping etc. what I felt was a very good m...
